Northern Labrador has been an area of continuous human use and settlement for nearly 10,000 years. Labrador Inuit have been the stewards of this region since time immemorial and they continue to practice their traditions on its lands and waters.

Today, the Minister of Environment and Climate Change and Minister responsible for Parks Canada, Catherine McKenna, and the President of Nunatsiavut, Johannes Lampe, announced the launch of a feasibility assessment to consider the establishment of an Indigenous protected area under the Canada National Marine Conservation Areas Act, which would be adjacent to Torngat Mountains National Park in northern Labrador.
